  Since most JW's HATE giving talks and doing meeting parts, why does the Watchtower Society still require it?

  i loathed giving talks and doing meeting parts.

  i dreaded all assignments.

  i was intelligent enough and always did a good job, but all my jw life (born in to mid-30's) i enjoyed giving talks about as much as a visit to the dentist.. i am sure that 90% of all jw's similarly dislike it.

  I love giving talks. It's the only time people actually listen to me. Well, I think they do...

  Hip Hip Hooray!
  Isn't it great the colour is grey
  It's better than black or green or maroon
  I really am right over the moon

  My silver sword I will wield
  when I am out in the field
  I'm sure that many will want to look
  at this wonderful new grey book

  The verses now make much more sense
  now I don't feel quite so dense
  I can't wait to read it from cover to cover
  Thank you so much our dear "mother"

  The GB, the faithful slave,
  they surely make me want to rave
  about this provision direct from God
  something that we should not hog

  We have a new Bible
  Hip Hip Hooray!
  and it is GREY!
  That really has made my day !

  It is interesting that according to the WT you were appointed an Elder by Holy Spirit

  w03 3/1 p. 17 par. 17
  Further, elders serve in the local Christian congregation and, according to the apostle Paul, are appointed by holy spirit.

  So what happened in your case if that is the case?

  You were discovering the TATT, then appointed as an Elder. Hmmm...

  A family member and I recently saw a UFO. It was very odd. It was very bright, like a star during the day. At first I thought that it was a plane reflecting the sun, or a balloon as I am very skeptical. We observed it for 15 minutes and it never made one sound or moved, or changed altitude. It did wink or fade every so often, until finally it turned off or left, or whatever. It was gone.

  I always assume that it is Military craft of some kind. I really have no other explanation. This was the first time that I had someone else see something with me. It was pretty cool.

  *********************

  That's interesting. Where did you see it? Could you take any photos?

  Molybdenum:

  I apologize for getting your screen name wrong. It wasn't intentional, but your name reminded me of a Clint Eastwood movie where the people were calling their town 'Molly-Be-Dam.' In thinking about it, I think I unintentionally spelled it out as your screen name.

  Take Care

  Hey.. no problem. I've been called worse things.

  Thanks for replying to the thread I started.

  Seems like the Japanese government are calling in help from

  the USA to deal with the problems at Fukushima.

  So everything will be OK now, I guess

  explaining the situation at Fukushima and how the

  Japanese government is hiding the true facts.

  Especially as Tokyo is now the venue for the 2020 Olympics

  and PM Abe said in his speech " Everything is under control" which appears to be a barefaced lie.

  There is no way that this unprecendented situation

  can be considered even remotely under control.

  It would seem that the situation is beyond human control.

  The consequences of another large earthquake or some kind

  of accident with the removal of the fuel rods in reactor 4 building would

  almost certainly overshadow what has happened

  until now.

  So how does God ( Jehovah) fit into this picture.

  In Revelation 11:18 it says that God will " bring to ruin those ruining the earth"

  Or will God step in and prevent another unprecedented disaster from affecting the whole world,

  which is what would probably happen if Fukushima has another major accident.

  Would he just stand by and let this happen?

  I guess it comes down to how much faith we individually have in God and to what extent he would protect

  us from our own folly.
